Waves of Ventura – Behind the Scenes

On December 25, 2015 I flew from Bozeman, Montana to San Diego international airport. I packed light for the trip, ditching all the heavier clothing for shorts and a t-shirt in preparation for the transition from temperatures, just above zero to those in the 60’s. Packing light allowed some room to not only bring my Sony a5100 and a few extra lenses but a small Manfrotto tripod and fluid head.

After a few days visiting with the family, my wife Amanda and I drove north towards Ventura, California where this piece was filmed. The first few scenes of the film were taken in Ventura harbor while walking along the beach. The surfers and sunset clips where shot on the last day of our stay. The airport sequence was taken before we took off from LAX to return home.

Once I returned home the data was all ingested by Justin. Time lapses where built using Adobe After Effects CC 2016 and the footage was color corrected and cut together using Adobe Premier Pro CC 2016. Justin took all the footage and weaved it into a great little piece showcasing the Waves of Ventura.
